Die Fujifilm X-T10. 115 Profitipps.
Die Fujifilm X-T1. 111 Profitipps. 2. Auflage mit Firmware 4
INGREDIENTS:
3 cups baking mix
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup butter or margarine, softened
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1/4 cup milk
4 eggs
1 can (15 oz) pumpkin (not pumpkin pie mix)
1 package (3 oz) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
2 teaspoons vanilla
4 1/2 cups powdered sugar
2 teaspoons miniature chocolate chips
DIRECTIONS:
1. Heat oven to 350°F. Line 24 regular-size muffin cups with paper baking cups.
2. In large bowl, beat Bisquick mix, granulated sugar, brown sugar, 1/4 cup butter, the pumpkin pie spice, milk, eggs and pumpkin with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds. Beat on medium speed 3 minutes. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups.
3. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center of cupcake comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes; remove from pan to wire rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
4.Meanwhile, in large bowl, beat cream cheese and 1/2 cup butter on low speed about 30 seconds or until well blended. Beat in vanilla and 2 cups of the powdered sugar on low speed about 30 seconds or just until mixed, then on high speed about 1 minute or until fluffy. Beat in remaining 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar, 1/4 cup at a time, on medium speed. If too soft to mound, add additional powdered sugar, a tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency.
5.Spoon frosting into large resealable plastic food-storage bag; press out air and seal bag. Cut 1/2-inch tip from lower corner of bag. Squeeze bag to pipe about 2 tablespoons frosting into ghost-shaped mound on each cupcake. Press 2 chocolate chips, flat sides out, into frosting for eyes.
Unfortunately this example has it's wings closed, so this is showing the splendid camouflage to the underside. The Orange tip Butterfly is a true sign of spring, being one of the first species to emerge that has not overwintered as an adult. The male and female of this species are very different in appearance. The more-conspicuous male has orange tips to the forewings, that give this butterfly its name. These orange tips are absent in the female and the female is often mistaken for one of the other whites, especially the Green-veined White or Small White.

MISSION: MISSION: Photograph any subject using Low Key lighting technique.
WIT: Initially this was a challenge for me and I spent a few days wondering about how I should approach this. Then it hit me that I had been screwing around with a "light box" of sorts for a few weeks (check out my set: The Black Box). It's the most basic set up I could come up with: a bunch of pieces of black foam board nailed together (for easy disassembly).
For this shot I wanted to focus on something mundane - even boring everyday things can look spectacular under proper lighting and with a tight crop. I started grabbing random things around my house: an orange, a package of barbeque sauce, etc. Nothing was coming out to my liking until I grabbed a handful of swabs. Something about the way they catch the light is really appealing to me.

Orange Tip Butterfly
All afternoon the Orange Tips flew past, but not a one settled for a photograph, until right near the end of our wak this male decided to pose briefly.
The females lay eggs on Lady's Smock and Jack-by-the-hedge
89/365 - ballet never really was my thing, I did tap and jazz...but I always wanted to have some toe shoes!!!
P.S. Don't steal my images!
I worked today at my mom's business (where she so conveniently fits and sells toe shoes) so I got to play around for my 365 today and get pretty cliche :)
Oh well, it's a Monday and I'm currently on the Bench Monday bandwagon, which I think is okay for now.
I'm going to go for now and continue editing photos from this weekend and the Outlaws game, lol. yes I'm slow :) or just lazy? Or just a procrastinator?
